A Nvidia Corp. engineer, during a video conference call with his former employer, had one of those oops moments. He shared his screen, leaving a file up that contained data about robocar technology that he had stolen from his previous company, Valeo SE.
The engineer was convicted of infringing business secrets in Germany earlier this year and now Valeo is suing Nvidia in California.
